Voters in several states are heading to the polls on Tuesday for elections that will provide a crucial window into nationwide support for Donald Trump’s Republican allies, and potentially signal new momentum for the beleaguered Democratic party.
The off-year elections could see the Democratic insurgent Zohran Mamdani become the next mayor of New York City, while voters in deep-blue California could tear up their congressional maps in favor of a Democratic gerrymander meant to counter gains the GOP is expected to make elsewhere. And Virginia and New Jersey will hold high-stakes gubernatorial and legislative elections that may serve as a proxy for voters’ views on the president.
